[Intro]
Turn me up a little bit
[Hook]
Well isn't this the same place
That we found ourselves last year
We said it would be different by now
But what's happened in the past year
I know you still believe me
When I tell you I won't give up
You're all I've ever wanted
You're all that's been important
[Verse 1]
Just hoping people remember the name
Cause once you get a little fame, it's never the same
I work hard cause I know that success is the aim
But I really want the happiness that it never could bring
Cause if I fall flat
They'll be them n***as tryna tell me that they called that
Yeah, and if I blow up, that's the same n***as that'll show up
Tryna get into a photo
I don't even know you at all
Want me to act hard
Like I'm from the streets when I grew up in the backyard
Always getting faded
And even though I'm educated I don't always find the perfect way to say it
Nah, n***a I don't always find the right words
And my dad made it so I grew up 'round them pretty little white girls
And even though your boy was legit
I was still falling for these LA girls who spoiled as sh**
And I know, exactly why I hate it
And I know it's complicated
So I can't really explain it, but I
I know that there's no way that all this sh** could be okay
Yeah, this sh** is pitiful
My relationship with every woman has been f**ed since the middle school
Acting like I never care, and never break face
Ever since I got straight played in the eighth grade
Yeah, but I love b**hes, and I know how it sound
But when it's going good I always do some stupid sh**
So when I call 'em b**hes, not tryna put 'em down
It's so I don't feel so bad when I ruin it
Defense mechanism everything
Feeling numb to the world every time a n***a drink
So I guess that's why I do it
All I got is just that drink and the music
And my fam want to see me getting back to who I was, like I ever could
Another call to the student dean, it's never good
And there ain't nothing that I can say
Telling moms why I got arrested on a Wednesday
sh**, things are getting hella bad
Is it bad I feel more alive than I ever have
I'm on my way to where my dreams lie
Just hoping I don't lose myself in the meantime
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Fear's about the only thing to hold me back
But anybody could've told me that
It's funny nowadays you either got it or you don't
There's no opinions man it's only facts
I'm wishing I could slow it down
I'm from a big city where we throw it down
But when I'm at school man it seems life moves so fast for a rural town
I don't even have the time to dream
Or find the dreams that I'm tryna see
Or let alone find the right woman so I'm f**ing every girl that be eyeing me
My inspiration's going down the drain
And all these songs about girls start to sound the same
And what really worries me is that that sh** would only get worse if I found the fame
Never giving effort to these girls
I don't care if they're sh** dumb, I pick one
I'm focused on my hi hats and kick drums
It's 4 A.M. but I don't ever stop until that sh**'s done
Now you know that's some sh** son
I'm trying to rule the whole game
Beat making, rapping yeah it's all in my reign
Only problem is that leaves no time for that other sh**
Hoping that my life don't get destroyed like the mother ship
Gotta go to cla**, alright, drinking, all nights
I'mma see it through like a fog light
Remembering that everybody can but not everybody will
Just hoping that we never staying still, n***a
[Hook]
